What is Alpha?

Alpha is a welcoming space to explore the Christian faith in a relaxed, open, and friendly environment. Through a 10-week series of videos, small group discussions, and music, you’ll have the opportunity to ask questions, build meaningful relationships, and deepen your faith journey—no matter where you’re starting from.

Adult Alpha (In Person)

Join us each Thursday evening for conversation, community, and faith exploration. Whether you’ve been part of a church for years or are exploring Christianity for the first time, everyone is welcome.

Young Adults Alpha (Ages 18–30)

Looking for real conversations, meaningful connections, and a place to explore your faith with others your age? Our Young Adults Alpha is led by young adults, for young adults. Come as you are—bring your questions, doubts, and curiosity. You don’t have to journey alone.

National Day for Truth and Reconciliation – Sept. 30th

Jesus is the Truth, and he loves each and every person. Being a church that seeks reconciliation means knowing the truth of the past and the hurt that has happened, so we can love well, each and every person, with Jesus into the future.

This day invites us to pause, reflect, and remember the lasting impact of the residential school system on Indigenous communities. We encourage everyone to use it as an opportunity for reflection, learning, listening, and prayer as we continue the journey towards truth and healing.

Please note: the parish offices will be closed on Wednesday, September 30th, in recognition of National Day for Truth and Reconciliation. Mass will be celebrated as regularly scheduled.

Month of the Holy Rosary

October is the Month of the Rosary, and we’d love for you to join us in praying it!

Pope Leo XIII set the month aside for this devotion back in 1883, and we celebrate the Feast of Our Lady of the Rosary on October 7.

If you’re not sure which mysteries to pray on a given day, here’s the weekly rhythm:

-Joyful on Mondays and Saturdays,

-Sorrowful on Tuesdays and Fridays,

-Glorious on Wednesdays and Sundays,

-Luminous on Thursdays.

Why pray it? The Rosary walks us through the life of Jesus, from his birth to his resurrection, with Mary by our side. It gives us a steady, prayerful rhythm that quiets the mind and makes room for God in a busy day (which is especially helpful in the busy fall months). And it’s a beautiful way to place all your intentions into Mary’s hands so she can pray for us! Even one decade a day is a great place to start!

Parish Coffee and Conversation Returns – Sept. 29th

Our first gathering for the fall will be held on Tuesday, September 29th in Seton Hall between 9:45 am and 11:30 am.  Drop in anytime after morning Mass.  Don’t be shy to come down on your own (if you are new to the parish, this is a great opportunity to meet new people).  Bring a friend or renew acquaintances you might only see at Mass.  All are welcome!  Snacks and beverages are provided… no charge.  We look forward to seeing you.
